When the success of your next quest hangs in the balance, or only one more hairpin turn stands between you and first place. When the clock is running out and your team must defend that flag at all costs, or the next combo attack could either be your greatest or your last. When the on-screen action is intense, nothing matters more to the success of your game than the relationship you have with the controller in your hands. The DualShock family of controllers has always brought you innovative features and precise control. The DualShock 4 is no different and brings an exciting array of additional features that are designed to usher your gaming experience into the next generation. With these additions, the DualShock 4 Controller becomes an extension of your brain, turning every move of your fingers into an accurate performance in the game — and in your hands, accurate performance can only mean victory.How gamers use a controller is being redefined right before our very eyes as the next generation of consoles also redefines many other aspects of gaming. The DualShock 4 controller is equipped with a multitouch touch pad on the face of the controller, opening up a new world of gameplay. The integrated light bar generates a rainbow of colors and works with your favorite games to enable innovative gaming experiences. The DualShock 4's share button lets you upload screenshots and video of epic gaming moments or live-stream sessions with your pals — with the press of a button. Besides all of the new innovations, the DualShock 4 controller improves features from past controllers, such as the feel, shape and sensitivity of the dual analog sticks and trigger buttons for enhanced control and a built-in speaker and stereo headset jack for flexible audio options. The future of gaming is now, and the features of this controller live up to the hype.
Having played on a PlayStation system since the first PS One, the controller seemed mostly unchanged until now. It was already a great controller layout to start with, but the DualShock 4 is a worthy successor. To start, the touchpad was a great addition, but I'm still waiting for more games to take advantage of this feature to its full potential. The ergonomics have been greatly improved from my point of view, as I can now hold the controller and play on it for hours (yes, I have no life) without feeling any hand strain or fatigue. I have medium sized hands and the controller fits me very well. The trigger buttons feel more natural and I like the addition of the speaker to add to the game ambiance and experience. It's as responsive as ever (but sometimes this depends on the game) as I am not noticing any lag when I move the sticks or press the buttons. Interaction between game and controller is seamless, which is what it should be.

This film challenges you to place yourself in a time when space travel had not yet taken place and challenges you to contemplate the worthiness of the pursuit, both politically and philosophically. A bit slow at some times, but you'll keep finding new things to enlighten you with each repeated viewing.

Although the plot had great potential and deep thematic elements, the buildup to the climax was a bit too slow and the run time a little too long. Rent it first.

A tough film to watch that viscerally places you in the midst of a failed mission whose circumstances just goes from bad to worse in short order. The film truly captures the power of loyalty, comaradery and friendship backed by the determination and toughness developed through the impossible Navy Seals training. Inspirational, heartfelt and spirited.

What's great about it: Tough and brutal account of Operation Red Wings
This film was an exceptional follow-up to the first. Although the director took some creative liberties with the story, the additions worked out really well and helped porpel the story forward. Action sequences will not dissapoint and the tale is more engaging this time around. Definitely a solid build up to what should be an epic finale. A must see for any Tolkien fan.

What's great about it: Great actioner, fast pace, intriguing story
Some may view this film as simplistic and predictable. It can be interpreted as a case study of stereotypical behavior by people placed in certain situations with certain responsibilities. But it becomes really intriguing when you explore the "why" or the reason that drives their behavior. Not having read the book it probably made it more fun for me to contemplate the characters' motivations and thoughts that drove their behaviors. Fun if viewed solely for the story and the great acting, immensely satisfying if viewed as a chess game.

What's great about it: A great case study in human psychology
What's not so great: Definitely had more potential but had to stay within the confines of the novel
After seeing the preview in the theaters, I had high expectations for this movie. It had it's moments, but they are few and far in between at least from my perspective. But the story was what let me down as it had promise, but felt like it didn't really take off or capitalize on it's potential. Good rental when you want a change of pace.

Great story arc that introduces new characters and relatives of the old to connect the dots. Keeps you captivated from episode one and anxious to see what happens next. I agree with other reviewers that the ending was somewhat rushed, but considering the circumstances whereas they did not know if the series was going to continue, I thought it was done well. Looking forward to the next 3 books... or so I heard.

This is one of those great storybook to movie translations. The acting is spot on and the animation is awesome. Stop motion has come a long way and Coraline just pushes the envelope a bit futher. The 2D and 3D blu-rays are both sharp with color rendering that is just simply stunning. I did not notice any artifacting even durng the dark scenes. I wish the 3D effect had more consistent depth, but otherwie it is effective. A great story that is captivating for both kids and adults.
